[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Agree. After the initial enthusiasm (new toy), I settled pretty much with what I have. My main reason to get an Android unit is to be able to use my preferred Navi software (Primo). After some initial glitches I managed to get it working, including TTS (SVOX). The Radio is decent but like other observed it looks less sensitive than original radio. There is an area where my usual FM station start loosing the signal which did not happen before, but the rest is OK (still, means less sensitive than previous radio).

After trying a few players I reverted back to use the one the unit comes with , is pretty decent for my needs (had problems with Radio not stopping when start another player which does not happen with the default one).

Backup camera works, I did not try the front DVR function if I decide to use this in the future may be easy to just use a camera with build in storage.

Steering wheel controls work (thanks kaween for this).

The hands free phone works, not interested in voice commands they don't work well on my phone or tablet with my accent so I don't care about.

Torque could be an option but I would never use it live always on anyway (for sure not a BT unit), so when I need it for a check I use my phone or tablet so not an issue for me.

I rooted the unit but except for maybe spoofing the device for Google Play in the future I do not see a big value on it. You don't have a custom recovery, so I would not risk playing to much with my unit anyway.

The screen is resistive, not worst and not better than older standard PND devices, not perfect but usable (just don't expect pinches or any other 2 finger commands).

The unit itself is stabile, did not find any other quirks, at least not on existing apps, which are not perfect but usable. The launcher is not bad, you can change what apps are show (no problem to set Primo in the place of Google Navi), big buttons. The hard buttons and volume work well, and in general the unit looks nice (my has a car specific front plate).

Don't expect support or custom roms or anything like this. I would not expect for any automotive device, not now and not in the future.It's not the same volume as a tablet or phone, and even for phones (Chinese ones) the support is minimal and disappears when the next model comes out (which for Chinese phones can be one month after you just got yours).

But, the unit does its' job (it's a Radio, a Navi and a Player) with more flexibility than the CE units (or OEM units), I can replace the Navi version or software with a number of other software, I can replace the Player (not really the Radio), and I can use a few other useful apps. I can also use it as a functional hands free phone) so pretty much this is what is for. The performance is OK, the Navi works well (it should the resolution is 800x480 only), it boots relatively fast 12-15 seconds, which is half of many OEM units. I would like if would have a delayed shut off like I read other units have (like stay for one hour on sleep before shutting down), but you can live without.

I did not even try the DVD or Video function they probably work but I don't see any use without having a second row monitor connected (which I don't have).

Both SD cards are functional called sdcard and sdnavi.Sd navi is not visible from the default file manager use ES explorer for this. The work with SD up to 32 GB and even with 64 GB if you format the cards as FAT32 (does not work with exFAT like many other Android units). It's a nice feature, you don't need to touch your Navi if you want to update your music files for example. An USB stick also works as media. I don't have any Apple products but there is an iPad cable and an app to control it, probably works.
